Very conveniently located - we walked around the Marina every day, and 7 min. walk to the beach. The metro is close, although we did not use it. The room is good, the food too (breakfasts are the same, but dinners are different and very tasty every day, lunches are a la carte). The service is also good. Cleaning every day with change of linen and towels.

The hotel is very good, especially for the price. Inside is very comfortable, good food, good cleaning, I did not feel any unpleasant smells in the room. At the reception you can borrow an adapter for sockets. The hotel is home to pleasant vacationers from all cities of Russia, whom you can meet on the ground floor or while waiting for a transfer to the beach.

Buses are organized to Jumeirah Beach and Marina Beach, but sometimes they were not enough and people got by taxi. I liked going to Marina Beach more, as there is a large area with skyscrapers, a water channel and a metro.
We took a tour from a young man. What did not regret a bit! Very nice, smart and knowledgeable guy. He speaks in a way that you enjoy listening to. Generally rested to the fullest. We hope to follow. We will come again in a year . . I strongly advise you not to spend a day in vain. And the hotel is great. I advise everyone!

I really liked being in this hotel, low (only 9 floors), within walking distance of JBR beach, just 10 minutes across the bridge, excellent breakfasts (lunches and dinners were not taken). On the roof there is a wonderful pool, near which we spent some evenings - the starry sky, shimmering towers around, warm breeze, unobtrusive music.

On the roof there is a wonderful pool, near which we spent some evenings - the starry sky, shimmering towers around, warm breeze, unobtrusive music... romance!! ! On the 9th floor there is a gym, there is also a counter with the issuance of towels - striped for the beach, dark blue - for the pool. Room cleaning daily, linen change every other day. We were settled on the 3rd floor, but we read the reviews and immediately asked for a higher room, without any problems we got a room on the 7th floor and a password for free wi-fi. Of the minuses: for us, it was not the absence of a balcony (we knew this) in the room that was a complete surprise, but the absence of a window. That is, this is a deaf glazing, which, well, never opens at all.

We traveled in August 2018. We really liked the hotel! The location is good: close to the metro, to the beach (about 10-15 minutes walk), to the Marina Mall supermarket (15-20 minutes walk). At our request, we were settled on a non-smoking floor with a gorgeous view of the Yacht Club. The room was cleaned every day.

We traveled in August 2018. We really liked the hotel!
The location is good: close to the metro, to the beach (about 10-15 minutes walk), to the Marina Mall supermarket (15-20 minutes walk).
At our request, we were settled on a non-smoking floor with a gorgeous view of the Yacht Club.
The room was cleaned every day. Every day we left some water in the room 2 bottles of 0.5 - a trifle, but nice. It was also very cool to weigh your luggage on the scales that were in the room before leaving : )
I also note that the room has an electric kettle and different tea bags, coffee sticks and cream.
Here, many wrote about the noise from the construction site outside the window - we heard absolutely nothing. Didn't hear any noise outside the doors or neighbors. Everything was great.
Wi-FI - upon check-in, we were given a login and password for free internet everywhere in the hotel. The only thing is that on the rooftop pool we asked for the password next to the cafe.
The room had excellent internet.
To communicate via video or audio VIBER and WhatsApp, you need to install a VPN : ).
FOOD:
- breakfasts are ordinary, but it is easy to diversify them if you take something new every day: scrambled eggs, sausages, oatmeal, muesli, yoghurts, milk, juices, fruits, etc. They bring coffee and tea.
- lunch or dinner. We took breakfast and either lunch or dinner. In principle, we ate well with one lunch, it was enough for us, and in the evening we bought bread and sausage at a local store and had a snack with tea in the room))
We enjoyed the dinner very much. There was a first and a varied second for every taste. So were our dishes: fur coat, mimosa, crab salad : )
Check-in and check-out was quick and without any problems.
Communication was only in English, although in the reviews they wrote that there are Russian speakers, but apparently we did not get caught.
For the pool and for the beach, towels were issued at the reception, floor R.
During the rest period, I had a birthday and the hotel very nicely congratulated us, leaving a cake on our table. It was very nice.
During the check-in, a deposit of $ 143 is charged, we said that we would pay tomorrow, because we don’t have it and everyone together forgot about this deposit and we didn’t pay anything.

the hotel is excellent, the location, the rooms are new, everything is cultural . . I read all the reviews, they helped a lot. I'll just add, the hotel still has a disco on the second floor, super-duper, the best in the area. We took only breakfast and never regretted it. It is profitable to buy a fur coat and souvenirs only at Nasser Square.

Thanks to this site, according to the reviews, I was prepared for everything. By the way, I advise anyone who wakes up to travel by metro to print a metro map at home and other information that interests you. We were everywhere on our own (Abu Dhabi, Dubai) by bus, metro, on foot and a few taxis. With one, it turned out to be a set-up, they didn’t provide a birthday cake, although I read everywhere that they brought it, they said that they don’t do this anymore. Have a good holiday everyone!! !

Good location of the hotel, Dubai Marina area: near the metro, supermarket, Marina Mall and the beach. Good and comfortable rooms. Loved the massage room. Candles, fragrance, bamboo decoration. The pool area is also very nice with a view of the skyscrapers. The hotel has two bars open from 11 am to 3 am. One of them is called Amadeus bar.

Every day at 20:00 Mexican live music and everyone can come here, admission is free. Another bar with pool table, darts and also live music. Despite the fact that the hotel is urban and does not have its own territory, the restaurant faces the street, where you can sit in the fresh air. We were in December and we were very comfortable.

Here comes Dubai again! I did not think that so soon after the last visit, I would want to go there again). We were in May from 12-23 for 11 days, we were very afraid for the weather, we thought the heat was unbearable, but fortunately the climate and weather were tolerated very well. It seems to me that it was about 40 degrees of heat, but it was much better tolerated than ours +28))).

Here comes Dubai again! I did not think that so soon after the last visit, I would want to go there again). We were in May from 12-23 for 11 days, we were very afraid for the weather, we thought the heat was unbearable, but fortunately the climate and weather were tolerated very well. It seems to me that it was about 40 degrees of heat, but it was much better tolerated than ours +28))). The sea was at the optimum temperature, I think it will be hot in June.
My story is built for ease of reading and searching for information will be like this:
- Flight (airline, luggage, airport).
-Hotel in general, WI-FI.
-Food at the hotel, food at the cafe (prices), food and prices.
- The sea and how to get to it.
-Underground.
-SHOPPING))) FUR COATS and more.
-Excursions and tour operator.
FLIGHT: Emirates flew without delay back and forth. Baggage weight per person 30 kg and 8 hand luggage (economy class). The plane is spacious, there is a monitor in the seat in front: movies, music, games, everything, please, at your service.
The stewardesses and stewards are very nice and nice, they give out alcohol willingly on the return flight home (Red label, Hennessy, Jack Daniels, Martini, Baileys, Red and White wine, etc. )) In general, of course, there is a sharp difference in comfort between Emirates and Aeroflot, Transaero. You can check in for a flight and select seats on the website http://www. emirates. com/ru/russian/index. aspx 24 hours before departure. It is better to buy booze in Dutik before departure, although you can also after passport control. Our Russians are buying boxes of beer, so funny)) Emirates planes arrive at Terminal 3 of Dubai Airport, don't be surprised when you have to go to passport control for 3 minutes by train, at first we thought we were lost))). Passport control passed in about 5 minutes. The tour operator was Biblio-Globus, the meeting side of the Voyage. A minivan came for us and 7 people, including three of us, were taken to the hotels of Dubai Marina in 30 minutes.
HOTEL: I chose the Marina Byblos 4 * hotel for relaxation - I will say that the price-quality ratio is very good. For three people in 11 days, meals Breakfast, Emirates Airline gave something around 90 thousand. The location of the hotel, in my opinion, is much more successful than other hotels. 5 minutes to the metro, a large supermarket nearby, 7 minutes to the Marina Mall, 10 minutes to the sea if you go to the right at the exit of the hotel for 10 minutes, if you go to the left for 17-20 minutes), Yacht Club under your nose (walks with pleasure, beautiful photos. We arrived something around 9-10 o'clock, settled without something 12. As a deposit, you can leave $ 100, or original passports, we left the originals, they will make copies for you there without any problems! I read the reviews before leaving and asked for a room on the 4th floor for non-smokers, we got room 405. Yachts stick out a little from the window! this suits us just fine.
There were 3 adults in the room, my parents and me. Beds: one large and one brought to me, very comfortable! Cleaned every day, bed and towels are white. Safe, refrigerator and even scales are available. Please ask reception or cleaners for bathrobes. Adapters are not needed, adapters are everywhere. The light and conder can be controlled with the help of a figovin located on the bedside table)). Swimming pool, located on the roof (floor R). The pool is good, heated, sometimes for some reason it was not heated. The view from it is very beautiful, especially in the evening, there are also many sunbeds and sofas with tables.
WI-FI in the cafe BOBS opposite the hotel is free. On the first day, I ordered a cup of coffee, asking for a code from Wi-Fi and the whole vacation was in touch))). Without any problems, you can stand near the cafe at any time, even sit at a table without ordering anything, use the Internet and not blush)).
Close to the hotel, money can be changed on the promenade street, or in the Marina Mall, as well as exchangers in each mall.
FOOD: Breakfast at the hotel is excellent! Cheese of different types, sausages, sausage, vegetables, beans, fried sausage, eggs, omelettes, scrambled eggs, breaded potatoes, jams, honey, halva, croissants, muffins, rolls, toasts, breakfast cereals, milk, packaged juices of two types, mushrooms , fruits: watermelon, melon, pineapple-chic! There is an opinion about porridge that it happens every 3 days, but this is not so, maybe it is served at different times, but it was every day! There it happens that, for example, there are beans with gravy, as soon as they run out, they bring porridge in their place. With us, a girl with a child came when there was no porridge yet, she asked for a cook, and after a few minutes they brought it. My parents and I were generally going to lose weight over the holidays, but something did not work out.
Three times we went to the Golden Fork (2 times on Nasser Sker, 1 time in our Dubai Marina area).
Nasser is a thousand times tastier and cheaper. Be sure to order fish (see photo) (35dirh = 280 rubles), lamb ribs (35dirh), Mix grill (22dirh=176rub), Juices (11dirch=88rub) especially delicious mango, mix, strawberry. We also ate shawarma in a local cafe on Nasser.
Once we went to a business lunch in a cafe called Terqwaz. A business lunch costs 39 dirhams and 49 with a hookah, it consists of a salad, first, second, dessert and a drink, portions are small. At the exit from the hotel to the right, in front of the bridge you go down and on the right there will be this cafe with free Wi-Fi.
In stores, they bought canisters with natural juices with pulp 2l-9 dirhs, 10.11 everywhere in different ways. MASAFI and AL AIN juices are especially tasty.
SEA: The sea is gorgeous, it’s the most for children))) We were very worried that there were no palm trees and umbrellas on the beach, but this is not a problem, you can buy an umbrella, they personally gave it to us, leaving fellow countrymen). As it turned out, you can generally do without it.
We were at sea for 4 hours in the morning and 3 in the evening, practically did not climb out of the water. They presented their umbrella on the last day to an unfamiliar Russian girl with a child on the beach). You can lie on anything, if you want to take towels from the pool, we lay on a mat brought with us.
The first 5 days we walked to the sea for about 20 minutes. Because initially, having gone along the short path, we simply passed the passage to the sea without noticing it)))))) After 5 days, we decided to try again to go along the short path, and we saw where people in hats, slates and beachwear were going)))).
From the hotel to the right, to the bridge, go through the entire bridge, cross the road and go down the pavement, which, as it were, continues the ended bridge, after the roundabout, go to the end, on your left hand there will be the Ocean View Hotel, opposite it there is an entrance to beach. The construction that goes near the beach does not interfere at all.
METRO: Exit the hotel and past the left side of the cafe Bobs go straight, the road pumps, turn left and here it is the golden shell of Jumeira Lakes Towers 37 metro station. If you plan to travel a lot by metro, buy a silver SILVER CARD card that costs 20 dirhs, 14 is already on your account. To get to Nasser (Baniyas Square) you reach UNION station 20, make a transition to another branch, and go back one station. Ibn Batuta shopping center is located at station 39, i. e. 2 from us towards Jebel Ali. Emirates Mall from us 5 stations in the direction of Rashid. Exit from the subway to the shopping center.
SHOPPING and FUR COATS: Bought three fur coats. In my last review, I already wrote the place where I bought fur coats in 2011. Past purchases were made on the recommendation of the girls from our hotel, who traveled and went around a million places with and without kamaks, and bought their fur coats in this store. Last year I visited a maximum of 3 stores with fur coats, and bought in the same place as the girls, i. e.
I was very satisfied with the price, quality, patterns, models. Of course, my conscience tormented me that I didn’t go around more stores, because everyone runs for 3-5 days in search of their beauty, but to be honest, I was too lazy to walk so much, so when I liked the fur coats, I bought it. Here are 2 seasons of socks, fur coats are like new, very warm. On this trip, I myself did not know what kind of fur coat I wanted, but I decided that first I would go around at least 10 salons, and if I didn’t like it, I would always find my way to last year’s store. First, my parents and I went to the building, if memory serves Twin Towers, the prices there are not cheap, we went around 5 stores, everything is not right, then for some reason we were carried to Abrazh, although I knew that China was there, but still my curiosity was bursting, in the 11th year was not there.
After several floors of walking through the fur salons, we were convinced that the quality was not very good, and the prices were clearly not Chinese))) The next center was the Al Futtaim tower, there are generally few fur salons, and I didn’t even want to measure what I saw, as an avid shopaholic, I suddenly Mom ran out of strength, too, let alone dad))) In short, we decided that we should stop fooling ourselves, went to the ELENA FACHION salon known to me. The girls who work there are still the same, the owner of the salon Elena, an interesting woman, has become even more interesting, having changed her image, now she has a dark short haircut)) I was recognized by the bag that Elena gave to my man in 2011, I carried money and a phone in it ))) Dad finally broke away: he sat peacefully on the couch, they poured him some whiskey, but there was happiness in his eyes.
My mother and I bought one coat each and one in common, since the size is the same)) The second time I am convinced that you will not find the models of fur coats that are in Elena Fashion anywhere in Dubai, and even more so in your city. All three fur coats are almost the same price category, one 2200 sheared black mink in the middle of the thigh with a belt, ¾ sleeves; another 2600 from an ocelot (reed cat) (it turns out to be painted in a speck) knee-deep with a chinchilla collar, the third 2300 model from a mink with a chic collar and sleeves, also up to the middle of the thigh, it can be worn with jeans and with a dress, . If you are interested, I will send pictures, write to kateni4ek@inbox. ru. This store is located on Nasser Square (Baniyas Square) at the exit of the metro station of the same name, on the right hand along the square there will be hotels-commercial buildings. You will see the LANMARK HOTEL (not to be confused with Landmark Plaza), after it there is a blue sign CRYSTAL fur center (see photo).
Suits there start from 5.000 rubles, shirts from 650 rubles, jeans for 1.500 rubles are awesome, trousers, belts, coats, jackets, bags, etc. Everything is hemmed for free! ! ! There are also cool men's shirts, and clothes in general, in the Balman store, in my opinion, they even have it in the Marina Mall.
Of the malls, the Emirates Mall stocked up the most, Ibn Batuta (made in the style of 6 countries) was also liked, Marina Mall is so-so.
For a golden tan, and as a gift to your loved ones, you can take coconut oil, which is sold in our supermarket 24 hours in the department with olive and sunflower oils. A jar of 175 ml costs only 6 dirhams (48 rubles). It is universal, for example, I treat my hair with it, using oil as a mask, and a tan immediately sticks to it, to moisturize the cuticles and for the whole body! As a gift-souvenir to relatives, friends, bring dates. They are sold in all sorts of variations: with nuts, in chocolate, in chocolate with nuts - very delicious.
A large selection of dates in the Emirates Mall on the ground floor in the supermarket, they are cheaper there than in our store. Dates are also sold in Duty Free a little bit more expensive. Many praise the date liqueur, I bought it, but have not tried it yet)) A photo with delicious dates is attached. In English, dates are called Date.
Since I love taking care of my hair, I constantly buy various masks, medicated shampoos, etc. In our supermarket, Indian hair products are sold in the shampoo section. For example, Amla oil, Navratna Oil, Indulekha Bringha Oil, Cobra OIL, Snake oil, from ready-made masks, the Palmers mask Bergamot formula is especially good. Beforehand, you can read on the Internet what is what and how it is used! It’s just that these products are very difficult to get here, and if you order amla oil via the Internet, for example, which costs 100 rubles in Dubai, it costs 600 rubles in Russia.
Girls who are interested in makeup and who do not have a SERHORA store in the city must buy an eyeshadow palette from Urban Decay Naked or Naked 2, you will not find better shadows. There are Sephora shops in the Emirates Mall on the top floor, in our Marina Mall on the second floor. The palette costs 236 dir (1880 rubles).
Dad also bought wheels for a car for 300.4 pieces, from our office. dealer 1.000 for one disc. One disk weighs 10 kg. We flew Emirates, so this weight was permissible. A lot of Russians are bringing accessories, components for cars from Dubai. The car market is located on Baniyas Square. If you face the EGO fur store, which is located behind the metro, then the avenue with the car market will be on your left, just go along this avenue and you will see. Discs are delivered to the hotel, packed in boxes.
EXCURSIONS and tour operator: There are no complaints about the meeting side of the Voyage.
We met, offered excursions, notified about the departure the day before, slipped a letter under the door of the room, sent a transfer, and we don’t need more. Basically, all hotel residents book excursions with their tour operator, because there is no choice. I was in Dubai in 2011 in the Deira region went on excursions from a large tour company Arabian Night. They offer their services on the beach. The Aladdin company also offers its services there, all people travel from these 2 companies and for very little money. In short, more to the point, the difference in price from excursions is very noticeable, and if you are in Dubai for the first time and plan to see a lot of things, then it is better to call Arabian Knight or Aladdin on the spot and book excursions from them, save a decent amount. Even at home, you can contact these companies by email and ask for a price. I know that they go to the Dubai Marina area for tourists. Guides, transport and organization of excursions at a high level.
Site Arabian Knights Site Aladdin I did not find. For example, an overview of Dubai at Vayazh costs $50 per adult, at Aribien $25.
We did not buy excursions, I was already everywhere last time, and my parents are not supporters of excursions)). The only thing was in the Dubai Mall Aquarium 80 dirhams per person (640 rubles).
We wanted to visit Miracle Garden Dubai, this is a flower park, but, as they said, it was not so beautiful, the flowers all wilted and in general it should close on May 30th.
Take a taxi to take pictures and just take a walk, go to Madinat (this is a hotel near the sail) and take a taxi from the hotel there for about $ 10. I ordered a photo session for myself, I chose the Madinat hotel for photography (photos are attached).
In conclusion, I would like to say that I liked the rest, maybe next year I’ll go to Dubai to solder) Have a good rest, there will be questions to ask who needs pictures of fur coats, write, I’ll send it! Sorry if there are a lot of mistakes, I don't want to re-read the review.

Cheese of different types, sausages, sausage, vegetables, beans, fried sausage, eggs, omelettes, scrambled eggs, breaded potatoes, jams, honey, halva, croissants, muffins, rolls, toasts, breakfast cereals, milk, packaged juices of two types, mushrooms , fruits: watermelon, melon, pineapple-chic! There is an opinion about porridge that it happens every 3 days, but this is not so, maybe it is served at different times, but it was every day! There it happens that, for example, there are beans with gravy, as soon as they run out, they bring porridge in their place. With us, a girl with a child came when there was no porridge yet, she asked for a cook, and after a few minutes they brought it. My parents and I were generally going to lose weight over the holidays, but something did not work out.
Three times we went to the Golden Fork (2 times on Nasser Sker, 1 time in our Dubai Marina area).
Nasser is a thousand times tastier and cheaper. Be sure to order fish (see photo) (35dirh = 280 rubles), lamb ribs (35dirh), Mix grill (22dirh=176rub), Juices (11dirch=88rub) especially delicious mango, mix, strawberry. We also ate shawarma in a local cafe on Nasser.
Once we went to a business lunch in a cafe called Terqwaz. A business lunch costs 39 dirhams and 49 with a hookah, it consists of a salad, first, second, dessert and a drink, portions are small. At the exit from the hotel to the right, in front of the bridge you go down and on the right there will be this cafe with free Wi-Fi.
In stores, they bought canisters with natural juices with pulp 2l-9 dirhs, 10.11 everywhere in different ways. MASAFI and AL AIN juices are especially tasty.
SEA: The sea is gorgeous, it’s the most for children))) We were very worried that there were no palm trees and umbrellas on the beach, but this is not a problem, you can buy an umbrella, they personally gave it to us, leaving fellow countrymen). As it turned out, you can generally do without it.
We were at sea for 4 hours in the morning and 3 in the evening, practically did not climb out of the water. They presented their umbrella on the last day to an unfamiliar Russian girl with a child on the beach). You can lie on anything, if you want to take towels from the pool, we lay on a mat brought with us.
The first 5 days we walked to the sea for about 20 minutes. Because initially, having gone along the short path, we simply passed the passage to the sea without noticing it)))))) After 5 days, we decided to try again to go along the short path, and we saw where people in hats, slates and beachwear were going)))).
From the hotel to the right, to the bridge, go through the entire bridge, cross the road and go down the pavement, which, as it were, continues the ended bridge, after the roundabout, go to the end, on your left hand there will be the Ocean View Hotel, opposite it there is an entrance to beach. The construction that goes near the beach does not interfere at all.
METRO: Exit the hotel and past the left side of the cafe Bobs go straight, the road pumps, turn left and here it is the golden shell of Jumeira Lakes Towers 37 metro station. If you plan to travel a lot by metro, buy a silver SILVER CARD card that costs 20 dirhs, 14 is already on your account. To get to Nasser (Baniyas Square) you reach UNION station 20, make a transition to another branch, and go back one station. Ibn Batuta shopping center is located at station 39, i. e. 2 from us towards Jebel Ali. Emirates Mall from us 5 stations in the direction of Rashid. Exit from the subway to the shopping center.
SHOPPING and FUR COATS: Bought three fur coats. In my last review, I already wrote the place where I bought fur coats in 2011. Past purchases were made on the recommendation of the girls from our hotel, who traveled and went around a million places with and without kamaks, and bought their fur coats in this store. Last year I visited a maximum of 3 stores with fur coats, and bought in the same place as the girls, i. e.
I was very satisfied with the price, quality, patterns, models. Of course, my conscience tormented me that I didn’t go around more stores, because everyone runs for 3-5 days in search of their beauty, but to be honest, I was too lazy to walk so much, so when I liked the fur coats, I bought it. Here are 2 seasons of socks, fur coats are like new, very warm. On this trip, I myself did not know what kind of fur coat I wanted, but I decided that first I would go around at least 10 salons, and if I didn’t like it, I would always find my way to last year’s store. First, my parents and I went to the building, if memory serves Twin Towers, the prices there are not cheap, we went around 5 stores, everything is not right, then for some reason we were carried to Abrazh, although I knew that China was there, but still my curiosity was bursting, in the 11th year was not there.
After several floors of walking through the fur salons, we were convinced that the quality was not very good, and the prices were clearly not Chinese))) The next center was the Al Futtaim tower, there are generally few fur salons, and I didn’t even want to measure what I saw, as an avid shopaholic, I suddenly Mom ran out of strength, too, let alone dad))) In short, we decided that we should stop fooling ourselves, went to the ELENA FACHION salon known to me. The girls who work there are still the same, the owner of the salon Elena, an interesting woman, has become even more interesting, having changed her image, now she has a dark short haircut)) I was recognized by the bag that Elena gave to my man in 2011, I carried money and a phone in it ))) Dad finally broke away: he sat peacefully on the couch, they poured him some whiskey, but there was happiness in his eyes.
My mother and I bought one coat each and one in common, since the size is the same)) The second time I am convinced that you will not find the models of fur coats that are in Elena Fashion anywhere in Dubai, and even more so in your city. All three fur coats are almost the same price category, one 2200 sheared black mink in the middle of the thigh with a belt, ¾ sleeves; another 2600 from an ocelot (reed cat) (it turns out to be painted in a speck) knee-deep with a chinchilla collar, the third 2300 model from a mink with a chic collar and sleeves, also up to the middle of the thigh, it can be worn with jeans and with a dress, . If you are interested, I will send pictures, write to kateni4ek@inbox. ru. This store is located on Nasser Square (Baniyas Square) at the exit of the metro station of the same name, on the right hand along the square there will be hotels-commercial buildings. You will see the LANMARK HOTEL (not to be confused with Landmark Plaza), after it there is a blue sign CRYSTAL fur center (see photo).
Suits there start from 5.000 rubles, shirts from 650 rubles, jeans for 1.500 rubles are awesome, trousers, belts, coats, jackets, bags, etc. Everything is hemmed for free! ! ! There are also cool men's shirts, and clothes in general, in the Balman store, in my opinion, they even have it in the Marina Mall.
Of the malls, the Emirates Mall stocked up the most, Ibn Batuta (made in the style of 6 countries) was also liked, Marina Mall is so-so.
For a golden tan, and as a gift to your loved ones, you can take coconut oil, which is sold in our supermarket 24 hours in the department with olive and sunflower oils. A jar of 175 ml costs only 6 dirhams (48 rubles). It is universal, for example, I treat my hair with it, using oil as a mask, and a tan immediately sticks to it, to moisturize the cuticles and for the whole body! As a gift-souvenir to relatives, friends, bring dates. They are sold in all sorts of variations: with nuts, in chocolate, in chocolate with nuts - very delicious.
A large selection of dates in the Emirates Mall on the ground floor in the supermarket, they are cheaper there than in our store. Dates are also sold in Duty Free a little bit more expensive. Many praise the date liqueur, I bought it, but have not tried it yet)) A photo with delicious dates is attached. In English, dates are called Date.
Since I love taking care of my hair, I constantly buy various masks, medicated shampoos, etc. In our supermarket, Indian hair products are sold in the shampoo section. For example, Amla oil, Navratna Oil, Indulekha Bringha Oil, Cobra OIL, Snake oil, from ready-made masks, the Palmers mask Bergamot formula is especially good. Beforehand, you can read on the Internet what is what and how it is used! It’s just that these products are very difficult to get here, and if you order amla oil via the Internet, for example, which costs 100 rubles in Dubai, it costs 600 rubles in Russia.
Girls who are interested in makeup and who do not have a SERHORA store in the city must buy an eyeshadow palette from Urban Decay Naked or Naked 2, you will not find better shadows. There are Sephora shops in the Emirates Mall on the top floor, in our Marina Mall on the second floor. The palette costs 236 dir (1880 rubles).
Dad also bought wheels for a car for 300.4 pieces, from our office. dealer 1.000 for one disc. One disk weighs 10 kg. We flew Emirates, so this weight was permissible. A lot of Russians are bringing accessories, components for cars from Dubai. The car market is located on Baniyas Square. If you face the EGO fur store, which is located behind the metro, then the avenue with the car market will be on your left, just go along this avenue and you will see. Discs are delivered to the hotel, packed in boxes.
EXCURSIONS and tour operator: There are no complaints about the meeting side of the Voyage.
We met, offered excursions, notified about the departure the day before, slipped a letter under the door of the room, sent a transfer, and we don’t need more. Basically, all hotel residents book excursions with their tour operator, because there is no choice. I was in Dubai in 2011 in the Deira region went on excursions from a large tour company Arabian Night. They offer their services on the beach. The Aladdin company also offers its services there, all people travel from these 2 companies and for very little money. In short, more to the point, the difference in price from excursions is very noticeable, and if you are in Dubai for the first time and plan to see a lot of things, then it is better to call Arabian Knight or Aladdin on the spot and book excursions from them, save a decent amount. Even at home, you can contact these companies by email and ask for a price. I know that they go to the Dubai Marina area for tourists. Guides, transport and organization of excursions at a high level.
Site Arabian Knights Site Aladdin I did not find. For example, an overview of Dubai at Vayazh costs $50 per adult, at Aribien $25.
We did not buy excursions, I was already everywhere last time, and my parents are not supporters of excursions)). The only thing was in the Dubai Mall Aquarium 80 dirhams per person (640 rubles).
We wanted to visit Miracle Garden Dubai, this is a flower park, but, as they said, it was not so beautiful, the flowers all wilted and in general it should close on May 30th.
Take a taxi to take pictures and just take a walk, go to Madinat (this is a hotel near the sail) and take a taxi from the hotel there for about $ 10. I ordered a photo session for myself, I chose the Madinat hotel for photography (photos are attached).
In conclusion, I would like to say that I liked the rest, maybe next year I’ll go to Dubai to solder) Have a good rest, there will be questions to ask who needs pictures of fur coats, write, I’ll send it! Sorry if there are a lot of mistakes, I don't want to re-read the review.

Were in this hotel from 01/31/2013 to 02/05/2013. We went together with my husband, with the aim of walking, seeing, riding on excursions. For a beach holiday with children, I would not recommend this hotel. Good, clean, new hotel located close to Marina Bay with many yachts. Marina is a new beautiful area, with tall buildings.

For a beach holiday with children, I would not recommend this hotel. Good, clean, new hotel located close to Marina Bay with many yachts. Marina is a new beautiful area, with tall buildings. The hotel is not far from the beach, walk 10 min. The hotel has everything you need, but paid internet. It is not a problem to find free internet in a cafe or in a nearby hotel. Breakfast is good, there is a choice. Upon check-in, they took a deposit of $ 100, in case of using a mini bar, they returned it upon check-out. The metro is nearby, 10 min. walk. Also not far is the Marina shopping center, there is also a grocery store.

Tourists were sent to this hotel for their wedding anniversary. The rest was spoiled, the tourist really cried for the first 2 days, she said that she did not expect such a pig from us. The hotel windows do not open at all, there is no balcony, the operator does not say a word about this. The air conditioner operates in one mode, the maximum (if you are intolerant to the air conditioner, imagine a room into which air passes only through the front door).

The air conditioner operates in one mode, the maximum (if you are intolerant to the air conditioner, imagine a room into which air passes only through the front door). Bed linen is damp. The number is microscopic. The hotel was scolded by many visiting tourists from other cities. So be careful when choosing this hotel, and re-specify the information.
